On Saturday a few of us rode from Peterborough to Tyrone, battling a nasty headwind, where we fueled up on Apple Cider Donuts and Red Pepper and Garlic Cheese Curds before heading back home. Not even a broken chain could stop us.

Brian Macmillan was talking about doing this very thing at some party we were at last spring. The good news for Brian is that he doesn’t tour with a cello. Brian. Set this up, I am in.

Lance Armstrong has a lot of stuff going on right now . . .

According to this Associated Press article; “Armstrong clearly appears to be, at the very least, a person of interest”, within the latest Pro Cycling doping investigation.

Before this whole Grand Jury business gets rolling, I would like to reflect on how Lance and I spent our 2010 summer together: We were in Rotterdam, I had just finished an espresso, he was just beginning a 3642km bicycle race.

Thanks Lance. Those .4 seconds were magic.

Just received an email from Bruuks which included these edits along with the instructions: Blog that shit.

Bruuks says it, everyone wins.

. . . Landis detailed extensive use of the blood-boosting drug EPO, testosterone, human growth hormone and blood transfusions, as well as female hormones and a one-time experiment with insulin. He said the doping occurred during the years he rode for the U.S. Postal Service and Swiss-based Phonak teams.

Since you have all been keeping up with this year’s Giro d’Italia, you have probably already seen this.

Cadel Evans recently won a miserable stage of the Giro . . . The resulting pictures sum up everything I tend to love about watching professional road racing.

I mean, look at this:
